The Zoo

We went to the zoo a couple weekends ago. Thankfully, the weather was perfect and we got there early so the crowds were thin. Noah loved the animals, with a few exceptions.

On our final trip to the zoo last summer, Noah had an incident with the orangutans that scared him (one attacked the glass right in front of Noah - it was an alarming experience for all of us). I wondered if he would remember it and apparently he did. As soon as we got to the spot where last year's "attack" took place, Noah got scared and started to throw a fit. When Ben picked him, he just closed his eyes and looked away from the animals. He begged us to leave, so we quickly moved on. Thankfully, this reaction was saved for only the orangutans, monkeys and gorillas - the rest of the animals were deemed safe.


Lots of "fishies"!
